Breakdown

2 ingredients to avoid

SheaMoisture Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil + Flaxseed Strong Hold Styling Gel scores 26/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

SheaMoisture Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil + Flaxseed Strong Hold Styling Gel lists 11 ingredients, starting with Propanediol, Polysorbate 20, Carbomer, Sodium Zinc Polyitaconate and Ricinus Communis Seed Oil. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 26/100 SheaMoisture Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil + Flaxseed Strong Hold Styling Gel scores worse than most styling products we have scored. A higher-scoring option in styling products is Carina Organics Alcohol-Free Unscented Styling Gel at 100/100.
